Scene #4987: Before the Loophole Closes

Owner	Pose
Sigrun Stem	Outside the Secret Intelligence Service Building, London, UK. A young but stern looking woman by the name of Quinn Cue is providing a briefing while driving an unmarked black van. She's terse and to the point, and is clearly not planning on actually participating in any activities. "In five hours, the loophole that allows Merit Petrochemical to dump its waste into the environment will be closed. We have intelligence that suggests they are planning one big final waste dump, trucks to depart their central plant as soon as they can arrange. Due to the nature of the loophole, they need three hours to do this, which means if they don't head out in the next two hours they will be too late." She throws a map over her shoulder, unrolling it reveals plans of the factory, including details on exits and the surrounding area. "The trucks will depart from point 2C, they should be loading them up right now. Your mission is to disrupt and delay. This is a sensitive mission, and we cannot allow them to discover the involvement of the Secret Intelligence Service or the Paladins. As such, you cannot be discovered. Further, we cannot allow any serious damage to be done to their plant or their staff. Including the security staff." The map shows multiple entry poins to point 2C, most of which likely to be guarded, and one from the roof. Furthermore, the plant exits onto a public road with a quick path onto the highway, with no traffic lights or meaningful crossroads in between. "You've been given badges to identify you as London Police should you wish to use those, but you do not have a warrant and don't expect to be given entry into their plant. Any questions?"
Heinkel Wolfe	In the back seat of the van, Heinkel Wolfe leans back against her seat and snaps a hand out to catch the map. Her eyes flick over the details, although her head never moves, and she seems to be giving something great thought. Her mouth tightens as she hands the map off to the next person. "I haf an idea that von't involve either blowing anything up or shooting them. If ve can delay them, they'll haf no choice but to abandon their last dump run, ja? Get me a uniform for the nearest reputable construction vork company." Heinkel grins, showing her teeth just a little. "I can see if I can detour them to Hell and back, maybe, ja...?"
Kotone Yamakawa	Kotone Yamakawa was suited upo in stealth gear down to having one of those head set units that hid a good portion of her face behind it. Kotone knew how serious this was and they must not one kill anyone, two must not get /caught/. For now she looks at the data scanning the maps and loading them into her HUD as she listen to Quinn Cue nodding once or twice at various points. She was a mechanci and she had the hardware to hack she had some ideas of the chaos she could get into with their trucks to make sure they never reached it. "I understand, we were never there and no one dies or is seriously injured." Kotone always prefered non lethal take downs for the most parts. "Are stealth, and hacking visable? ALso what are the orders on non lethal take downs I have some gear intended for situationss like that." Kotone does seem to be the chiper sort for the most part and those who don't have experiance her that much might be in for a suprise with the turn in behaviour.
Rory White	Rory White found it difficult to figure out how she could best contribute to this case when it was brought her. Not in the technical department, but... rather... Blending in. In the end, she's somehow managed to adapt her human-masked Synth's hair to a nice blonde instead of blue, and change some of the facial features. Over that she's wearing local casual clothing, no doubt thanks to her Smart Clothes and some reconaissance. Her corner of the van is a bit crowded with over a dozen fist-sized robotic creepies and crawlies, most of which are designed to closely mimic wildlife. They remain inactive for now. "A little bit of gentle sabotage to the trucks is also not a bad idea. Though it would be far too suspicious if ALL of them stalled... I need a little bit of time to set up a sensor network and analyze the situation, but between all of us we should be able to manage this."
Sigrun Stem	"That can be arranged." Agent Cue answers Heinkel, and by the time the car stops, half a mile away from the site, a construction truck stands ready, with a mannequin in the driver's seat wearing a uniform matched to Heinkel's size. "Stealth is definitely allowed, as long as it can't be traced back, but hacking will be of limited value. Merit Petrochemical only has a central mainframe and hasn't yet adopted modern automation techniques." She nods to agree with Rory, "As long as you don't do anything that would need actual repairs, that will do."
Heinkel Wolfe	"Great. Vell, ve'll see how this goes." Heinkel lifts a hand, touching her forehead in lazy two-fingered salute to Agent Cue. "Vish us luck." Climbing out of the van, Heinkel lopes over to the truck, all long limbs and a deceptively long stride. She grabs the clothes off the mannequin in passing, disappearing behind the van to quick-change and return in... a construction worker's clothing. Dusty tee-shirt tucked into dusty blue jeans, with scuffed boots and one of those screamingly bright Day-Glo neon orange vests. Her own clothing she wads up and brings back to the van, tossing it into the back seat where she'd been sitting. "Ach, don't let anything happen to those," Heinkel tosses over her shoulder, slapping the door shut and leaving her clothing, cassock, and coat with Cue. That done, she marches for the pickup truck with its conspicuous construction company logos on the doors, hopping into the cab and fumbling with the keys. First things first. Heinkel reaches into her pockets, retrieves the crumpled carton of cigarettes and lighter she had stowed there from her coat, and lights herself a cigarette. Thinning her mouth around it, she feels around for the keys, starting the engine. It coughs reluctantly to life, helped with a kick or two of the gas pedal. "Damn," she mumbles around the cigarette, cocking her head to eye the dash. "Points for accuracy. Of course the damn engine's on its way out." Sighing, she twists to eye the chunky side mirrors, backing up slowly and turning for the nearest cross road to Merit Petrochemical's route. By the time she gets there, she turns the truck off, dragging over a barricade and a few cones by main force. "Come on, come on! Out of the vay!" she bellows to whatever nearby traffic there is; a little effort means it's the voice of a middle-aged man, instead of Heinkel's usual gruff androgynous tone. "Ve're going to be doing some road vork here, so clear out! Ve're setting up a detour!" Meanwhile, the barricade and the cones being slapped down mean that the Merit Petrochemical truck is going to have to turn away from its planned route. "Bastards better be cooperative," she mutters under her cigarette, looking back to eye whether the Merit trucks are on their way or not.
Kotone Yamakawa	Kotone Yamakawa says "I understand, I can't assume all worlds are heavily wired but it does help." She now knows her operationals if it can't be trashed back? That would leave her eelware. Tasers are generic enough in the multiverse to well? Be a nightmare to track if you don't have part of the weapon ot the weapon in question right? THe blasters while common do point to a single set of worlds she muses. Only an utter last resort then. She looks to Heinkel and Rory as she does get the idea. She will move with her teamates and gets the idea they got htier part of the plan and she can be the one sneaking into sabotage the trucks and what she can directly. If she has he means to she'll even get the specs on the model of trucks the company uses and check for common faults and breakdowns that the models are known for. Well thats one of many plans she is a trained mechanic and can put that to use. She also gains a new apprication for Heinkel as she seems to get where her ideas is going. They can't all do the same thing and between the three they should hopefully be able to keep this from happening. She'll move out. She vanishes from sight inside the craft, waits till Heinkel and slips out a phantom in the night now with her coal in mind she checks the hudd, and by this point she's evne got one of those half helmts with addtional hardware that cyborgs are known to use on her world. They are also good to mask one's idenity visually as well.
Rory White	"An impressive show from Heinkel." Rory White comments, once she's shuffled her way out of the van and directed her drones to scatter through the environment. Hummingbirds make up the fliers, and squirrels her ground forces. They move quite believably - provided one doesn't look too closely at their precisely measured footwork or flight patterns. Meanwhile, two Saucers - easily mistaken for modern Drones - float up high into the sky and begin wide range scans using the full electromagnetic spectrum. Their penetrative abilities are minor, but thermal imaging with AI analysis will be quite a boon for scouting the trucks and factory... Rory herself? She has no need to be physically present. This is a Drone Operation and her effective body is already in the sky, on the ground, and ready to begin manuevers... Once she gathers more reconaiisance on those trucks.
